1
st Year
Lab Rotations - are job shadowing opportunities where each
semester a TEQB student can work with 1 Biological Sciences
Professor & 1 Mathematics Professor of his/her choice on a
current research project.
These students are permitted into Math 2390 or Biol 2390. Near the
end of this part students, will have the opportunity to "job
shadow" under 4 instructors. This part will prepare each student
for additional research activities.
Students will receive a total of 6 ETSU credits for the academic
year.
Each student will receive a
$750 stipend per semester. So every participant in
this program will receive a total of
$1,500.
2
nd Year
Internal Research Experience for Undergraduates
(REU's) - For the summer before a student's rising junior
year, he/she will choose a project to work with
one mathematician &
one biologist. During this experience a
student will receive a
$2,500 stipend.
3
rd Academic Year
External Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(REU's) - For the summer before a student's upcoming
senior year, he/she will have the opportunity to participate in
programs which integrate Mathematics & Science. These
prestigious NSF-funded programs have stipends of that average to
approximately
$3,500.
Students during their academic year at ETSU will get the
opportunity to travel to professional meeting to present their
research results. Career counseling for a variety of academic,
government, & industry careers will begin in earnest.
4
th Academic Year
During a student's senior year, research projects will be
completed, presented at meetings, & a senior thesis will be
written.
Graduate school applications will be made or cutting edge jobs will
be procured.
Our unique program will allow students to be very competitive in
obtaining admission into graduate programs or gain employment in
